Law of Guru (Spiritual Master)
The word guru is a combination of two words, gu, and ru. Gu means darkness, and ru means light. That which dispels the darkness of ignorance is called Guru. Guru is a must; without him, we cannot attain liberation. It is the Guru who removes the final 3rd power of Maya, i.e. Veil/Avarana. Guru provides us with the Brahmgyan (Absolute Knowledge), which will destroy our ignorance. That is the sole work of the guru. The guru wants nothing from the disciple. A guru is a force that moves a soul toward enlightenment. The guru's actions are pure compassion.
e.g. [Letters may be written down but are meaningless to someone who doesn't know the alphabet. Similarly, the Almighty is present within everyone's heart, but without the Spiritual Master, nobody can know Him because it is all dark there. The Master wipes out ignorance by turning on the divine light within. ]
e.g. [If a mixture of milk and water is placed before a crane, it will either drink the whole mixture or leave it. But if we put the same combination before a swan, it will extract all the milk from the mix but not even a drop of water. The swan knows how to separate the milk from water as it has sourness in its beak. In the same way, Guru helps us to differentiate between Illusion and Real.]
When the aspirant is ready, Guru will come to him. So, you don't need to search for the Guru. If we want to meet the true Guru or Brahmgyani, prepare ourselves and clean ourselves internally. When we are ready, True Guru will come to us. He will help us light the lamp but won’t give us the oil and wick; in other words, we must follow Guru’s guidance and practice whatsoever he has taught.
Guru will only tell us the path to salvation but would not automatically give us salvation. This grace is a fruit that is attained only after our hard work and faithfully sincere efforts. In other words, it comes on its own when a seeker has made maximum effort. When all efforts have been made and all efforts have been exhausted.
Being on a spiritual path with a guru is a challenging thing. It is not pleasant. The guru tests the disciples, puts them in the most demanding situations, and create obstacles. All the trials, difficulties, and obstacles are meant to train and expand the disciple's consciousness.
Law of Faith
One should have 100% faith in their Guru, and the Guru should be treated as God. Faith comes from Belief, and Belief comes from Assumption. Belief attracts all other things required for salvation, e.g., When it rains; all water comes to lower places automatically. If Guru is the 'True Guru' and Complete, but the aspirant does not believe in his Guru, it is useless. On the other hand, if Guru is not complete, but the aspirant believes 100% in his Guru and treats him as God, then his belief would take him into a real Guru soon.
Belief is the Great Key to the powers controlled by the Mind: What we Believe Is Real in the Realms of the Mind. Our beliefs hold and affect the incredible strengths of the mind, which dictate or influence many things in our life:
...Our choices, and thus your course in life, and what you create in your life;
...Our ability to learn and apply your knowledge;
...Our health (whether or not you foster sickness or wellness);
...Our ability to draw upon, or squander, Inner Strength.
One powerful key to the working of belief is ‘assumption.’ Assumption functions like a catalyst and provides us with a means to enforce tremendous changes, including changes in our physical bodies. When we assume something, our subconscious accepts it as an accomplished fact and manifests it in the body.
